The Wolf of Los Angeles.

After hearing what Hawke and Erica said, Edward slowly parked the car in a roadside parking space so that the two could continue observing.

There were five children in total, four girls and one very handsome boy.

Except for the boy, everyone else looked under 14.

Four white people and one Asian.

In the normal social structure of the United States, the leaders of such small groups are generally white people, and Asians are mostly followers.

But in this small group, the Asian girl with a round face was clearly the leader.

Erica whispered, "The Detective Bureau overlooked one thing, minors!"

Hawke added: "The Savior said he encountered them last time in Sherman Oaks, which must have been before the Golden Globes. Have someone check if there were any celebrity thefts in Sherman Oaks during that time."

Erica pulled out her cell phone and made a call.

Not long after, the other side fought back.

"After the Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston called the police to report that her dress, underwear, jewelry and other items had been stolen. However, she was divorced from Brad Pitt at the time and had just moved from Beverly Hills to Sherman Oaks. She later went on a trip. The Western District Police Department in charge of the case determined that the items might have been lost during the move, and the case was eventually dropped."

"Thank you." Erica hung up the phone.

Hawke said: "Focus on checking these people, or other minors who have been around here recently."

Edward interrupted, "Could it be related to them? You're really brave. You knew the police were visiting nearby, but you still dared to come back."

"Some criminals like to return to the scene to watch after committing a crime. There are many such cases." Erica looked back and said, "If they are suspects, they may be scouting the area to prepare for further crimes."

Hawke saw a case where a driver hit and killed someone, then fled, only to return not long after to watch the traffic police handle the accident.

A child of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, it is obvious that he comes from a wealthy family. Walking in such a wealthy community, he is really inconspicuous and it is difficult to arouse suspicion.

Just like the Mule Gang uses pregnant women and old men in their seventies and eighties to sell drugs, children are also the objects of social preferential treatment.

Erica had already picked up her cell phone and started making calls continuously, calling on her colleagues to come and help.

Behind them, the round-faced girl stopped a car. The owner was a woman and was very friendly to them.

Pancake-faced guy and the boy got into the car, while the other three girls stayed where they were.

Hawke said to Edward, "Follow him."

Edward waited for a moment, then drove behind at a distance.

Hawke picked up the car intercom again and called Raul and Guti who were following him: "Keep your eyes on the three girls on the roadside. Yes! The three teenagers with schoolbags on their backs."

Not long after, the car in front arrived at the intersection of North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks and Beverly and stopped in front of Buckley Private Middle School.

Before Pancake Face and the boy got out of the car, Hawke had already taken out the camera and camcorder in the car and took photos and videos with Edward respectively.

Erica said, “They should be students from Buckley.”

"With the photos and videos, it's easy to find the person again," Hawke said.

At this time, several cars arrived from behind, and they were people from the Detective Bureau coming to support.

Erica said, “I’m going to work.”

Hawke nodded: "You go ahead and get busy."

Erica got out of the car, called her subordinates, and went straight into the school.

Hawke didn't rush to leave, but waited at the school gate. If the two people were really involved in the case, the school would definitely notify the parents.

Not long after, Erica called.

The pancake-faced guy said nothing.

But the boy's psychological quality was not good. Erica took out her police badge, and before she asked any questions, she was so scared that she couldn't stand. She didn't care whether his parents were there or not, and said a lot of things that she should and shouldn't say.

They were the ones who did the case.

At present, the school teachers have protected the students and asked the parents and lawyers to arrive before making any further comments.

We have to wait until the parents come to know the details.

Teachers in private schools are much more responsible than those in public schools.

After Hawke hung up the phone, Edward said, "Look at their clothes. They are all children from rich families. Why would they steal?"

"Maybe they have limited pocket money and want more. Or maybe they are just looking for excitement." Hawke could only guess: "Another possibility is that they like Paris and other celebrities and steal their things as souvenirs or something."

Edward said: "Not as pure as the people in Compton. The people in Compton commit crimes just to have enough food to eat."

Hawke said casually: "When people are hungry, they only have one worry, but when they are full, they will have countless worries..."

Edward thought about his past: "Poor people have only one worry, no money."

Hawke pointed out the window.

A Lexus drove up to the school gate and stopped in a parking space on the side. A long-faced, suit-wearing man with a kind expression got out of the car and walked towards the gate of Buckley Middle School.

Hawke glanced sideways through the car window.

He knew this man.

Although this is the first time I’ve seen him in person, I’ve seen him in photos and videos.

Hawke remembered clearly that the first time he saw this man was in the video provided by Campos.

At that time, he was dealing with Bro Derick, who had just discovered the Superstar Acting School. Campos discovered their dealings when he was targeting a girl Bro Derick had contacted. It was this person who took the beautiful female student named Mia and sent her to the Venice Beach Club. Later, Fox's hard-headed reporter Harley Wayne tracked all the way to the Venice Beach Club and encountered a car crash. After a series of events that followed, Hawke got the information kept by Bro Derick's former assistant Guerrero from Guerrero's girlfriend, including his name and photo.

This person's name is Carol Andy.

Some time ago, Hawke asked Campos to check that this person worked at the Ackerman Charitable Foundation and had a very good relationship with Bro Derek.

Carol attended Buckley High School.

Edward filmed it with a camera and said to Hawke, "Boss, isn't this Carol?"

Hawke nodded: "It's him, no doubt about it."

Edward thought more at this time: "Could Carol be the parent of one of those two people?"

Hawke was a little surprised: "According to the information we obtained some time ago, Carol is still a bachelor."

Edward scratched his head: "Getting married and having kids so soon?"

"Maybe there is a new situation." Hawke kept calm and would find out if he waited patiently.

Not long after, a white couple came over and entered the school gate.

Hawke didn't recognize these two people.

Soon, two more cars arrived. The men who got out of the cars were all wearing suits and carrying briefcases.

Apparently a lawyer or something.

Edward speculated: "Boss, that Carol specializes in collecting beautiful women and transporting them to the Venice Beach Club. The victims of this crime are all children. Could they also be involved with children?"

“The Ackerman family has a wide range of businesses,” Hawke said.

"The church, Hollywood, the Donkey Party, the Jews, as well as the politicians, celebrities and the rich..." Edward, a black man from Compton, shook his head: "Los Angeles really looks like Los Santos in some games, a veritable city of sin."

He said viciously: "If I were a relative of the victim, I would not only take revenge, but also set fire to this sinful city!"

Hawke said: "Like the Venice Beach Club, the people who set the fire may not be the victims, but someone may be destroying the bodies."

The beach club, which was full of the crimes of the Ackerman family and some politicians and wealthy people, was reduced to ashes in the raging fire, leaving no trace except for the ruins.

Perhaps the only things left were those mailed by Guerrero’s girlfriend.

Shortly after the two lawyers went in, Hawke received a call from Erica.

Erica said, "The situation is a bit complicated. I need to take him back to the detective station. We can talk about it when we get home tonight."

"Okay." Hawke hung up the phone.

After waiting for a while, a Hyundai car stopped at the school gate. A round-faced Korean woman got out of the car and hurried into the school.

As soon as she entered the door, the woman stopped.

The detectives brought out the round-faced girl and another boy, and they were followed by lawyers, parents, and school representatives.

The round-faced woman met Carol, and Carol accompanied the round-faced girl out of the school gate.

Hawke could see clearly that Carol and the Korean woman with a round face should be husband and wife or lovers, and Hawke was the parent of the girl with a round face.

This matter involved Carol, which was somewhat beyond Hawke's expectations.

It depends on Erica's situation.

After the detective car left, Hawke also asked Edward to drive away.

On the way, Raul called.

According to the feedback from there, LAPD found the three girls, notified their parents, and took them away according to the procedures.

Hawke thought about it and asked Raul and others to go to the detective bureau and follow Carol.

At the Detective Bureau, because the suspect was a minor, he was accompanied by a guardian and a lawyer throughout the interrogation.

Carol's newly engaged fiancée, Veronica, was extremely annoyed by her daughter's behavior, but she followed the advice of Carol and the lawyer he hired, and persuaded her unusually stubborn daughter to reach a plea agreement with the police.

So does everyone else.

Subsequently, the LAPD found a series of stolen items in the rooms of these boys and girls.

Except for a few jewels that were secretly sold, most of the other things are still there.

These people stole from the homes of seven Hollywood actresses, with their main targets being clothing and jewelry.

Popular female stars have too many clothes and accessories, many of which are worn once and then put into the cloakroom. They are not moved for a short period of time, so they are not noticed even when they are lost.

Paris Hilton actually realized that her belongings had been stolen and called the police. This was the fifth time she had been robbed by this underage theft gang.

Lindsay Lohan stole three times.

Jennifer Aniston only stole it once before being caught.

Other victims included Paris' neighbors Rachel Bilson and Kate Beckinsale.

These people kept all the stolen underwear and clothes and wore them themselves.

Rachel, a girl with a round face, is the leader of these people. She organized this theft gang with the purpose of showing off her wealth and chasing stars.

Rachel likes Paris Hilton very much, especially her beauty, so the first target she set her sights on was Paris. (End of this chapter)
